Bookings can be made until 8:00 p.m. on the day before the visit.
Mandatory conditions for guided apiary visits:
Wear long trousers that fully cover your legs.
Wear closed-toe shoes.
Wear the protective beekeeping jacket provided by the beekeeper.
No perfume or hairspray.
No brightly coloured clothing or bags.
Pets are not allowed unless accompanied by someone who remains outside the apiary area, near the picnic tables.
How to reach the apiary:
The apiary is located near the Riou Sec ski lift departure point.
Take the Prélongis chairlift from the Les Orres 1650 snow front.
At the top of the chairlift, follow the Fontaines trail downhill for approximately 900 metres on foot.
Please note that access to the hives may not be possible in certain weather conditions. In the event of a thunderstorm, for example, the visit may be cancelled, as stormy weather can make bees more aggressive.
Remember that these hives are home to nearly 200,000 bees!
